The Merit Hub

Quality was key against the clock

“As soon as I knew that we would be working with Merit, I was confident we’d get the delivery exactly how we wanted it.”

Time and quality were of the essence for Wienerberger, the UK’s leading provider of bricks, blocks, roof tiles, and pavers as well as a comprehensive range of building solutions.

An exhibition stand was required in just a few weeks’ time for Digital Construction Week. In addition, not only did it have to successfully represent the brand, it had to face the scrutiny of the visiting CEO.

So, no pressure!

We had worked with Wienerberger before – on retail display stands – and Tom Dearden, Channel Marketing Manager, said: “I was confident that, once we decided to go with Merit for the exhibition stand, that we would get it delivered on time with the right amount of care and attention needed to be successful.”

It was decided the best solution in the relatively short timescale was to use custom-printed tension fabric attached to a modular display system.

This would be complemented by suitable furniture, digital displays, and computer tablets.

Nicola Hayden, Project Manager at Merit, said: “As well as coordinating the activity, I ensured Tom and his colleagues were kept up-to-date with progress.”

Tom agreed the communication was an important element and he said: “Thanks to the almost daily updates, it was clear all was being taken care of. And the attention to detail was probably the biggest highlight.”

He added: “The stand looked great. I’ve never been disappointed with anything that I’ve done with Merit. And, with our CEO coming over from Vienna, we wanted something top quality.

“I really can’t stress enough that, as soon as I knew that we would be working with Merit, I was confident we’d get the delivery exactly how we wanted it and every detail would be looked at.”
